Raut also claimed that Kirit Somaiya and son Neil Somaiya will go to jail. Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut has said that BJP leader Kirit Somaiya had admitted to depositing money collected during the ‘Save INS Vikrant’ initiative along with his party. The government is yet to decide if the party should be made a co-accused. Raut also claimed Kirit Somaiya and his son Neil Somaiya will go to jail and alleged the amount was used in elections.
Earlier, Somaiya denied allegations of misappropriation of funds that amounted to over Rs 57 crore collected in the name of saving the ship.
किरीट सोमय्या 140 कोटी रुपये जमा करून राजभवनात देणार होते.त्यांना 58 कोटी जमवता आले.
Ins vikrant 60 कोटी ना भंगारात गेली.
58 कोटीचा हिशेब लागत नाही..जे सोमय्या बाप बेट्याने जमा केले.
हिशोब तर द्यावाच लागेल.
58 कोटी हडप केले नसते तर विक्रांत वाचवता आली असती..

Remark taken out of context, says minister Thakur as ‘praise’ for Pawar draws Sena’s ire
A day after Congress minister Yashomati Thakur praised Sharad Pawar, saying “the situation would have been different in Maharashtra” had the NCP chief been the CM, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray has expressed displeasure over the remarks, sources said. Meanwhile, after the Sena reacted sharply to her statement, Thakur said her remarks were taken out of context.
The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief was in Amravati on Sunday for a programme which was also attended by Thakur, the Women and Child Development Minister and Guardian Minister of the district.
“Sharad Pawar was the Chief Minister of Maharashtra four times. Had he been the CM today, the situation of the state would have been different… No matter how many arrows are fired, Pawar is with us, that is why the Maharashtra government is stable,” Thakur had said during the programme.
